  1. If you want to start your own company someday, being an engineer is probably a better career choice than being in sales.

  2. I was always pretty good at street biology.

  3. So someone should start a GoFundMe to finance a few individual lawsuits. I bet a lot of people would kick in $10-$20.

  4. Time to change the default configuration so that if you want Telnet you have to manually enable it.

  5. If you click on 'cancel my subscription' online, you just get a phone # to call. That is the only way to cancel. I assume because they want to try to talk you out of it.

  6. Probably a good idea. I know with SiriusXM, every 6 months I have to call and ask to cancel my subscription (you cannot do it over the internet or any other way) in order for them to offer me a 1/2 price deal for the next 6 months. It's ridiculous.

    Don't you watch movies or TV? You want to wait to see if they lead you to the boss man.

  10. It doesn't seem like the kind of thing you would give to every grunt. Maybe one per unit or something like that, for use by whoever is making the decisions.

  11. Re:Who knew? on Giant Spiderweb Cloaks Land in Aitoliko, Greece (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Wait, aren't the mosquitoes eating the plastic? Then the spiders eat the mosquitoes? So really the spiders are eating the plastic and these webs may never biodegrade. This is a catastrophe.

  12. Re:Nope... on Giant Spiderweb Cloaks Land in Aitoliko, Greece (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I suppose the next population boom will be these. I have these in my house sometimes. They kill the spiders, but man are they ugly bastards.

    That is a hack worth doing. That guy is set for life now... if he's smart enough to hang up his spikes and call it quits.

  17. Re:My current rating for NewEgg is... on Hackers Stole Customer Credit Cards in Newegg Data Breach (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 0

    My guess is Amazon inserted the skimming code.

    So they'll add pointless cost and features to get around tariffs being imposed only by America? Seems like whatever they save by avoiding the tariffs they'll lose in added manufacturing cost.

  20. Re:Great news! on Altaba To Settle Lawsuits Relating To Yahoo Data Breach For $47 Million (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    And established a roadmap for companies that are hit with data breaches in the future. Establish a holding company, move vulnerable portions of the business to that company, settle for pennies on the dollar. Bonuses all around!

    One chicken (or even a turkey) goes a long, long way. It's amazing.
